I should mention what happened when I tried that: The program linked
without problems, and the .exe ended up importing from the DLL, but
the import list from that DLL was empty!.. The program of course
crashed as soon as it called a function from the DLL as the import
stub jumped into thin air. This is something to look out for.
(Although I don't know how widespread the belief that one can simply
copy a libfoo.dll.a to foo.lib is?)
